The two are among the oldest war dead in the world, men who died a brutal death after violent lives 13,000 years ago.<br />The cemetery they came from, on the banks of the Nile in what is now northern Sudan, is famous among archaeologists: dating from about 11,000 BC, it is among the oldest organised burial grounds in the world. However, the finds, including the shattered bones of scores of men, women and children and the remains of the weapons that killed them, have never been exhibited before.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jul/14/13000-year-old-skeletons-war-dead-british-museum" target="_blank">Read More About War Dead</a>Briannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9266588.post-74183229971829618172014-07-18T09:32:00.000-07:002014-07-18T09:32:00.228-07:00The 'oldest tree in Europe' discovered in a Welsh cemetery<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JxfsdLH8F-s/U8aoMwqy61I/AAAAAAAAA_M/nvfK1C7ek4I/s1600/Yew+Tree+Is+Really+Old.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="5000 year old yew tree" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JxfsdLH8F-s/U8aoMwqy61I/AAAAAAAAA_M/nvfK1C7ek4I/s1600/Yew+Tree+Is+Really+Old.jpg" title="5000 year old yew tree" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">5000 year old yew tree in Wales</td></tr></tbody></table>I don't normally blog about trees (well perhaps Family Trees) but as this one is in a cemetery its worthy of note.

How far the gigantic network of lead pipes used in ancient Rome compromised public health in the city is unknown. However, lead isotopes in sediments from Portus – the harbour of Imperial Rome&nbsp; – register the presence of a strong anthropogenic component during the beginning of the Common Era and the Early Middle Ages.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/04/2014/were-ancient-romans-poisoned-by-lead" target="_blank">Read More</a>Briannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9266588.post-9951465358447392592014-05-20T11:25:00.000-07:002014-05-20T11:25:00.188-07:00Coffin Plate Of Emanuel C Beam <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SPLtoU1qDPs/U2KOUuZH-fI/AAAAAAAAA7E/qKn5e_256Os/s1600/emanuel_c_beam_coffin_plate.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Coffin Plate Of Emanuel Beam" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SPLtoU1qDPs/U2KOUuZH-fI/AAAAAAAAA7E/qKn5e_256Os/s1600/emanuel_c_beam_coffin_plate.jpg" height="320" title="Coffin Plate Of Emanuel Beam" width="306" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Emanuel C Beam</td></tr></tbody></table>This coffin plate for Emanuel C Beam is without a date but we can tell from the style of plate and the frame it is displayed in that it dates from around 1880~1890.

For this reason, we as modern humans still carry Neanderthal DNA in us. Researchers from Edinburgh University and Wageningen University come to this conclusion based on a comparative statistical analysis of DNA from Neanderthals and humans.<br /><br /><a href="http://phys.org/news/2014-05-dna-interaction-neanderthals-humans.html" target="_blank">Read More</a>Briannoreply@blogger.com1
